Michael Bell

"Mr. Bell is the lifeblood of Booker T. There isn't a parent, faculty member, or student who doesn't know him or hasn't benefitted from his help. Not only does he maintain and clean the school, he is consistently available to help, whether it's finding tables or chairs, setting up and breaking down events, unloading cars, carrying heavy items or just a 'how are you doing, need anything?' Despite his work schedule and constant workload, he is never impatient, rude or dismissive. Those of us who rely on him joke that there really must be three of him because he seems to be always available and always ready to help. To me, he represents the generosity and gratitude we should all aspire to."

Nedra P. James

"After dedicating 28 years to education, Nedra P. James returned to our school community two years ago as the Fine Arts Coordinator, where she champions the arts. In an environment that can often feel overwhelmingly demanding, she stands out as a beacon of warmth and light. Her support for cross-conservatory productions and programs inspires students to reach their full potential. The love and appreciation that both students and alumni show her are a testament to her remarkable ability to teach, guide, and inspire. Few possess the power to unite students, and Ms. James is truly a one-in-a-million inspiration! Thank you for your 30+ years of education at BTWHSPVA, Nedra P. James!"

"Building upon years of prior service within PTSA, Patricia Mojica has served as President of the Booker T. PTSA for two consecutive years.

Patricia’s disciplined, thoughtful leadership has transformed the Booker T. PTSA into a provider of effective, process driven programs which support a wide swath of students and faculty across all artistic and academic conservatories.Under her authentic leadership, PTSA membership has grown and participation increased. Patricia’s dedication to the Booker T. students, faculty and community is remarkable. No doubt, future Booker T.

Washington High School, including the PTSA as First VP and Secretary, Theatre Guild President, Site-Based Decision Making President, and serving in a committee for the Advisory Board. Over the years, she has actively sought sponsorships, donations, and grants to support student enrichment initiatives.This year alone, she raised over $10,000 through the North Texas Giving Day fund to support the PTSA's summer scholarship program.
